1. Have capers set sa infinity,
IL. Fast film, such as Tri-X, is very good.
3. For moving objects shutter speeds not clover than one hundredth
of a second should be used. Shutter and f-stop combination
will depend upon lighting conditions; dusk, cloudy day, bright
sunlight, etc. If your camera does not require such settings,
just take pictures.
4. Do not move camera during exposure.
5. Take several pictures o: the object; as many as you can. If you
can, include some ground in the picture of the UFO.
6. If the object appears to be close to you, a few hundred feet or
closer, try to change ycrr location on the ground so that each
picture, or few pictures are taken from a different place. A
change in position of 40 or 60 feet is good. (This establishes
what is known as a base line and is helpful in technical
analysis of your photography.) If the object appears to be far
away, a mile or so, remain about where you are and continue
taking pictures. A small movement here will not help. However,
if you can get in a car and drive 1/2 to a mile or so and take
another series of pictures this will help.
T. After pictures of UFO have been taken, remain where you are:
now, slowly turning 3600 :ske overlapping, eye level, pho;.ogruphy
as you turn around. By this technique the surrounding countryside
will be photographed. ibis photography is very valuable for
the analysis of the UFO ycu have just photographed.
8. Your original negative is of value. Be sure it is processed
with care.
9. If you can, have another negative made from the original.
10. Any reproductions you have.- m%de :or technical stud and
analysis should be mad" ::?,a the orldin al nega ve and
soul a printed to show all the picture including the
border and even the sproccct h a, if your film has them.
